SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 Casa Rio, the River Walk staple that stands out with vibrant-colored table umbrellas, is set to give downtown patrons another reason to take notice. <\/p>\n

This time, the restaurant will have visitors looking up.<\/p>\n

The Lyons family, who owns Casa Rio as well as Schilo\u2019s and Broadway News, are opening a new rooftop bar and restaurant called The Night Heron.<\/p>\n

The new downtown dining destination will be located right above Casa Rio on East Commerce Street.<\/p>\n

It will offer customers an open-air feel with views of the city, including two iconic San Antonio symbols: the Tower of the Americas and the Antorcha de Amistad.<\/p>\n

In a news release sent to KSAT, Elizabeth Lyons Houston, vice president of Los Leones, the family\u2019s restaurant group, revealed the restaurant will serve an elevated food and drink experience that celebrates the city\u2019s past and future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe menu is inspired not only from treasured classics from both Casa Rio and Schilo\u2019s, but also includes new influences drawing from my travels to Mexico City and elsewhere,\u201d Houston said in the release. <\/p>\n

Food selections at The Night Heron will highlight flavors from Central Texas, Mexico and the city\u2019s own German-Texas heritage while featuring local ingredients.<\/p>\n

Houston added that the new venture is personal for her. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis truly is a passion project for me as I\u2019m looking at ways we can help invest in downtown and our city\u2019s future,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
